NEW YORK  -- Michael Strahan never acted upset and shocked when he was snubbed by the Pro Football Hall of Fame last February. So maybe it was fitting that he when he did make it to Canton on Saturday night, he never acted as if it mattered.

Strahan was named to Canton’s Class of 2014 during the NFL Honors awards show at Radio City Music Hall, making it to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in his second year of eligibility. He was joined by Tampa Bay Bucs linebacker Derrick Brooks, Seattle Seahawks offensive tackle Walter Jones, Buffalo Bills receiver Andre Reed and Cardinals cornerback Aeneas Williams in the modern-day class.
